'This Is Us' star SterlingKBrown is earning Oscar buzz for A24's tearjerker 'Waves' as he seeks to 'expand the definition' of people of color onscreen
he took on a father figure who's very different from Randall Pearson, playing a demanding dad with high expectations of his son, Tyler . The drama, helmed by Trey Edward Shults, debuted at the Telluride Film Festival in August to strong reviews and opened in theaters Nov. 15.about his process for picking characters, his new role as a producer and the anxiety of being black and excellent.
It's been kind of profound. I recognize within me a tendency or a desire to perform at the highest level, and have anyone associated with me, family or friends, associated at a very high level as well. My wife and I both went to Stanford University, and if our kid wasn't reading by age 2, we were like, "Well, what's wrong with him? Like, how come he's not reading?" There is within both of us a desire to exceed expectations and to have our children exceed expectations.
The short answer is yeah. I do sort of carry with me, for good or for bad, the idea that my actions have ramifications outside myself. And that if I don't show up and be professional and put my best foot forward, it makes it that much more difficult for anyone who comes after me to receive similar opportunities. It is a pressure that I think I've lived with for such a long time, and it's something that's been so instilled from the moment that I started going to school.
